Did you take the ring gear off it? Some won't go into reverse with out that.

I second that. Mine started that just before she popped.

X3 on the compression.

I had a bad plug on mine. It was getting hard to start too. I pulled the boot off and the pto side was all full of black chalky dust. The seal between the ceramic and the plug body fails and allows combustion gasses up past the ceramic. Causing poor connection ect ect. Any way mine starts a lot nicer now. Keep in mind they are indexed on a E TEC.

if compression is good then check the reeds.

E-tech... Someone might not have indexed the plugs properly...
